Pointer Launch Checklist

Use this checklist before publishing a public Pointer release.

Repository Readiness

  • product.json, package.json, README badges, issue links, and release docs point to https://github.com/PointerIDE/Pointer.
  • Public issue templates, PR template, and security policy are Pointer-specific.
  • No local tool output, generated release artifacts, tokens, credentials, or private logs are tracked.
  • Contributor setup works from the documented run\start-dev.bat, run\start.bat, and run\build-pointer.bat entrypoints.

Local Validation

npm run compile-check-ts-native
npm audit --omit=dev --audit-level=high
run\build-pointer.bat --Installer --Zip

npm audit --omit=dev may still report the current moderate uuid advisory through @microsoft/dev-tunnels-connections and @vscode/deviceid. Track it until those upstream packages provide compatible fixed versions.

Confirm that .build\artifacts\ contains:

  • Pointer-win32-x64\Pointer.exe
  • Pointer-win32-x64.zip
  • PointerSetup-x64-1.119.0.exe

Smoke Test

  • Launch the portable app with temporary user data and extensions directories.
  • Confirm the window title, product name, icon, About dialog, and Report Issue link use Pointer branding.
  • Open and save a file.
  • Open the integrated terminal.
  • Open the Source Control view in a Git repository.
  • Confirm the extension host starts without an obvious startup error.
  • Install with PointerSetup-x64-1.119.0.exe, launch the installed app, and uninstall it cleanly.

Release

  • Merge the release-readiness branch after CI is green.
  • Run the Pointer Windows Release workflow from main.
  • Use tag v1.119.0, architecture x64, ZIP enabled, Installer enabled, Draft enabled.
  • Confirm the GitHub Release is a draft and has both assets attached before publishing.

Signing Notice

Pointer Windows builds are currently unsigned. Public release notes and installer docs must state this clearly until code signing is configured.
